VIRTUAL REALITY

This course provides instruction in creating Virtual Reality (VR) panorama and object images. VR images are flat 2D representations of a 3D environment or object and can be manipulated by the viewer on a computer. Photographic shooting issues such as planning, executing a shoot, and processing the images are addressed. The production process, called VR authoring, transforms the photographic images into VR. VR images are incorporated into web pages, CDs, kiosks, and other such multimedia formats. (FT)
